j. Milton AkerS writes from Pine Island Mimi,
to the Christian Il duocdte follows: Sin the WIN
ter OF 1S59-60 the writer was teaching school In
Bedford County, Penn, and boarding with an In
telligent and substantial farmer OF German ex-
traction by the name OF Anthony FELTON,. The
family was a remarkable one for ingenuity. One
night after school the conversation turned upon
difficult problems in mathematics. / mentioned
one that my brother had sent me, which consid-
cred quite Intricate. The question was follows,
Il reproduce from memory: sold 5000 ellis
Flemish OF cloth for 81, go. and gained much
per yard as one-eighth or the prime cost OF ell
English. What was the prime cost per yard, and
OF the whole piece?' On repeating the question my
host told Inc promptly 1t could not be done. / re-
repeated 1t several times for him during the even
ing, Till he had its conditions well fixed In his
mind. l assured him that / had solved It by
algebra, OF which he knew nothing. The next
morning, on coming from my room, he said: Il can
tell you all about that problem now Upon asking
him how he had reached the solution he said: Il
dreamed IL OUT smiled incredulously, for had
no faith In such straight dreaming. l said, Let
me see your Solution?' and to my establishment
and delight he produced an arithmetical solution
that was marvel or analytic simplicity. / then
asked more particularly about his dream. He said !:
'An Old man, TO whom had at one time gone to
school. came to me in my dream, and seeing was
troubled about something asked the cause. re-
peated the question to him, and told him that /
had told the master that 1t could not be solved
The old man told me IL makes no difference what
you told the master" IL can be worked, and then
told me how TO do it. And he remembered IL so
distinctly that he solved the question by the In
StructlOnS received in his dream"
